• Why "The Integrity Paradigm" ?
      Straight forward explanation supporting this important way to view existence.
• Integrity - . . . reworded, re-considered . . .
• Discussion of Fourplane Universe Conundrum   ©1973
         Original Integrity Paradigm Concept Paper.    SUNY Stonybrook
          This document was the brief and formative seminal paper in which the core
          concepts - the idea-roots ~ 'cepts' - were first publicly enunciated in 1972/3.
          Some cepts were absolutely original to this paper and writer, in particular  the
          notion of complex systems being the interaction of many local and oppositely
          directly entropy-gradients, where this basic dynamic relationship of interactions
          is present through-out the universal heirarchy, and applicable regardless of what
          new or different mechanisms may arise.  Our wholistic universe of extraordinary
         diversity exhibits a singular shared process, expressed in many only seemingly
         different forms.  Even our emotions, languages, thought & society.

      The Ceptualist Perspective.    the theory publication 
           Beginning November 1998 I/CI will initiate presentation of the full text
           of "Understanding the Integral Universe".   It was realized that  some
           readers were having difficulty dealing with the diverseness of ideas as
           they were presented in separate topical packets.  It is hoped that this
           will remedy that problem.

• The Integrity Paradigm - The Behavior of Self-Organizing Systems (©1992)

  "Concepts which have proved useful for ordering things easily assume so great an authority over us, that we forget their terrestrial origin and accept them as unalterable facts. They then become labeled as `conceptual necessities,’ etc. The road of scientific progress is frequently blocked for long periods by such errors. It is therefore not just an idle game to exercise our ability to analyze familiar concepts, and to demonstrate the conditions on which this justification of their usefulness depends."    Albert Einstein

• Old Perceptions, New Thinking   January 2000 (July 1999)
      We've been conditioned to think that 'discoveries' always refer to something
      never experienced before.  And, yes, in many instances that is true. But discovery
      is about something else, too.  It's about having muscles,bones, and enthusiasm ...
      and 'discovering' that you can ride and control a bike .. and enjoy the pleasures
      of moving through rushing wind, moving faster and in exhilarating ways you
      never realized you could before, going to places farther away and closer in time
      than you've ever experienced before.  Sure, 'discovery' is what other people
      around you do.  But the most important thing is that it's what YOU do.   And here
      are some new things to think about ... while you're at it, that is.  :- )
